It was excellent. The guide picked me up on time and was very flexible. He gave me lots of great impressions and showed and explained lots of great things. The lunch in the restaurant he recommended was world class. You can choose your own freshly caught fish and it is freshly prepared. The tour can be arranged flexibly, depending on what you want to see. A must: Coconut Tree Hill. You see it from a completely different perspective. The turtle rescue center is highly recommended, the explanations are great and you see great animals. I can highly recommend this tour!

5 out of 5 stars

Guides very attentive to the passengers (medication against seasickness, snack: sandwich, fruit and cakes, water) and who accompany us throughout the excursion, so that we can see as many cetaceans as possible. Attentive, they even help with photos and videos. Thank you to the entire crew for your welcome. To recommend without worry.

5 out of 5 stars

A great experience!! We got to see sea turtles, dolphins and blue whales several times both up close and far away! The tour was supposed to leave at 06:30 but the boat left the port at 07:00, however, there were many people who were late so it was understandable. 100% worth the money.
